Oscar De La Hoya vs Ike Quartey (Highlights) Oscar De La Hoya (29-0-0) vs Ike Quartey (34-0-1) World Boxing Council World Welterweight Title 1999-02-13
So many fighters would have held on for dear life or got stopped in that 12th round .. The fact that Ike just stood his ground and shot it out and was the fresher one by the end of the exchange was legendary. It’s a shame inactivity due to his promoter kind of made his career simmer away
@Great Lakes Mayweather ducked a lot of fighters but he still fought'em tho, he just waited to fight them to either build the fight or waited til they were old, it's called "temporarily ducking"brah.
@@Amari_Antique21-el6uv No matter how hard you try to make excuses for Mayweather, he will always be remembered for waiting to long for Manny. Truthfully ducking him...
Gold rated classic. Very rare for anyone to remember this one. Quartey showed heart and why he belonged. To bad he wasnt very well known. Delahoya in his prime was crisp, very few mistakes.
This fight broke my heart as a kid. I didnt even realize how hard Quartey hits at the time. Ike Quartey will forever be my favourite Ghanaian boxer🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
This is the toughest fight Dela hoya ever faced in his career. When interviewed he said, I couldn't walk for two weeks after fighting this guy and was asked whether there should be a rematch and he said no. On the scorecard ike was leading until the 12th round Dela hoya realised that something must be done. That's why he fought his life in the last round which eventually changed the results. But most pundits had this fight draw.
I think ike was still winning the fight.. even when he got knocked down in the 12th!... he had oscar on his heels & he looked sloppy all fight!.. I had ike up regardless!
De La Hoya had one of the best left hooks in boxing . It just flowed naturally. Awesome job by the ref by letting them fight it out. This was a true classic
Oscars Dad set that up, Oscar is originally left handed, his Dad made him fight conventional so he would be deadly with his lead hand. Ryan Garcia has a left hook that looks amazing.
Referee did an excellent job in this fight especially in the 12th round. And definitely one of the most entertaining fights of the past, shit 25 years!!
@@ernestovasquez3468 Oscar didn't duck nobody. But Margarito was calling him out many times and he didn't fight the Tornado. Fast forward, The Golden Boy fought BHop at MW. I'd say, ducking is nullified
That was a hell of a fight. If it wasn’t for that last knock down, Quartey would have won that fight in my opinion. However, Oscar never back down to no opponent. One of the greatest Mexican fighters
Ike was a great fighter not many know about. 37-4, 31 KOs, never got knocked out, & his losses were to Oscar, Winky Wright, Vernon Forest, & Fernando Vargas who are all hall of fame level fighters. Oscar was such a stud to take on as many tough guys like Quartey as he did.
Oscar just couldn't really all the top fighters in their prime. Most of titles came from older on the way out the door fighters and they robbed a few fighters and gave the fight to Oscar.
@@efdrayton7773 I've spotted the Julio Cezar Chavez fanboy lol. Every Chavez truther hates Oscar & can't accept those 2 ass whoopins he gave old man Julio. I've seen this same thing said 100x & it's always a butthurt Chavez fan lol. Fun fact. Oscar's opponents list is WAY more impressive than Chavez, & Julio was handed his fair share of undeserved wins too (Whittaker springs to mind.)
@@jms6605 and to maidana, and to Packman, and to Oscar. It is harder to fight offensive, an offensive boxer should have small advantage from judges, but Mayweather had some fixed fights, and Castillo was the first.
Ricky Garcia : I agree. Quartey had him beaten. I still think Quartey should have gotten the decision, especially when you compare his performance to that of Tito Trinidad. Quartey was a more difficult physical matchup for De La Hoya. Trinidad gave him more strategic problems. But that last round made the decision for De La Hoya at least “justifiable.”
Reminds me how great Ike was. Holy shit, what a fighter. Took every body shot from Oscar and never even once backed up or even winced in pain. He literally exposed and gave up his ribcage for Oscar to punch all nite long and kept going after Oscar's head. Ike looked like a BEAST this fight.
De La Hoya was almost CONSTANTLY underestimated by his opponents because he was almost NEVER the "physical specimen" in the ring. What Oscar had was the technical proclivity to throw his punches with absolute precision and perfection.
This is how you know who the Pound for pound king is,not shoulder rolls and waiting for counters.These fights,no matter what the price or outcome was I left a happy man and not feeling robbed of my money and time.
Yes, Oscar, was the real thing. In some ways a throw back. Some comments on here infer he avoided some? My memory is that he fought so many, top level fighters and he always came to fight! When he lost he accepted it and was humble. I’m glad he has developed into a top promoter. One guy here, commented about women’s cloths? Who gives a flying xxxk? Let’s stick a camera on every aspect of your life son and see what we find! Oscar was a great competitor, great boxer. Always good to watch.
@@japsley6172 hey you are right I remember watching Oscar fight and take on the best and win most of the time 😀 he didn't look like other Mexican fighter's and I'm not being disrespectful when I saw him win consistently 😉 how could he not win you over he did with me thanks for the memories
Trinidad woop on nobody by round 5 Tito was already bleeding from the nose and his left eye was already swollen. And he did all that while running away, just imagine if he would of fought like he did quartey poor Tito. It is what it is tho
Pacquio even had a concert with his fans after Cotto Margarito Mosley and Bradley fights... thats why he's the greatest fighter of all time!!!! hands down...
Quartey was one of those fighters that give soundly fundamental fighters fits,he has that awkward angle style down pat, definitely formidable for anybody definitely a beast
When Bernard Hopkins asked Oscar for a fight he thought Oscar was going to say no Bernard Hopkins was feared and a light heavyweight Oscar with beating him every round until he got hit to the liver they'll never be anyone like Oscar and he has the best left jab in boxing History 🥇
This fight was Leonard-Hearns 1 with Ike Q being THH who was giving SRL a boxing lesson and at Angelo Dundee's admonishment Ray came back and landed the money shot to stop Hearns. Oscar had Quartey out on his feet and pulled out a miracle win.
The fight should have been stopped in the 12th. Great fight. Oscar is one of my favorites. Never ducked anyone. Underrated skills. Tremendous left hook and a great jab. Head movement was underrated. One of the great chins of his generation. Great fighter.
I know ODLH is a legendary fighter, but got damn was he fast in his younger years. I never really watched him during his earlier years, 1st fight i saw was against JCC which was your prototype for the "Passing of the Torch" ceremony between fighters. Knew he was very very talented, but am amazed at his hand speed.
He was really fast up to like 2001. Even how he bounces off his toes. Its crazy how different he looks here compared to when he fought Mosley 2 in 2003. Slower hands and flat footed. He probably shoulda retired after that fight.
Classic fight. Too bad these guys didn’t have a rematch soon after. I would have loved to see them mix it up again. Ike quartey’s jab was a thing of beauty.
I WAS SHOCKED WHEN BERNARD HOPKINS DROPPED HIM AND FINISHED HIM WITH A BODY SHOT.....DE LA HOYA DEFINITELY BEAT FELIX TRINIDAD, HOW DO YOU LOSE A FIGHT WHEN YOU WIN FIRST 7 ROUNDS AND DON'T LOSE LAST 5 BUT BY 10-9 SCORE ?????
Francis Schmitt maybe u should ask that same question 2 Pernell Whitaker on how u lose a fight that ya barely get touched tha whole fight & still lose 2 Coke La Hoya
Nice to see again this fight. I did not remember Quarter had a so good defense. Delahoya is great. Love his combination body hook then uppercut like Tyson
This is one of the most underrated fights of all time. Amazing fight.
You said that right. A great fight!!!
Agree...
ODH was hundred better than Chavez Sr and the juicer Canelo hands down
@@stanleyjackson5963 Fr Chavez is a overrated and canelo is just a good fighter nothing special
The 1st time De La Hoya really had to prove himself.
You cant help but get emotional in a fight like this. These were 2 warriors. God bless them

This was one hell of a fight, much respect for both fighters.
Lmao, Quartey couldn't stop smiling, even when he got knock down

I think he just loves the great competition
Quartey vs Shane Mosley. That would have been a smile-fest. and probably fight of the year.

If quartey got uppercut or right hand punch from mike tyson...i guarantee that quartey got trauma forever untill nightmare...
Salute to Oscar!!! Never ducked ANYONE!!! 👊
